Always take notes from the slides he posts and do test corrections every single time they're offered! Don't procrastinate on the key concept packets because they take forever to do. When he gives you work, get it done as soon as you can, do NOT put it off for later because it'll pile up. A lot of people say he's mean or a harsh grader but he isn't! He's super nice and very understanding. Whenever the class did poorly on something he always offered test corrections for those who wanted to do them. He also gave loads of extra credit opportunities that were pretty easy. Don't be afraid to ask for help because he will gladly assist you in whatever way he can. Along with that, if you have questions as to why you missed something, ASK HIM!! He will tell you why you didn't get it right and sometimes he'll actually give points back. Overall, he's a great teacher and offers everything he can to see you succeed.

Don't be afraid to ask for help and take advantage of what he gives you. I promise he isn't mean or scary like people say and the class isn't hard. It's an AP class so it's supposed to be difficult.
